After stampeding through Murderbot #3-#6 in about a week, I decided to take a (possibly ill-considered) revisit to my childhood, beginning with Jungle Tales of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Currently reading The Kingdom of Copper. I already like it much more than The City of Brass. I'm way more invested in the characters now.
I finished The Ten Thousand Doors of January. It wasn't what I expected, but I did end up really liking it.I'm now starting To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. My brother got it for me as a gift a while back and he recently asked if I read it because he wants to borrow it. So, now I've been guilt tripped into reading it. Seems to have mixed reviews though, so I'm going in with lowered expectations.
Well, I couldn't continue To Sleep in a Sea of Stars because I ran into a printing error with missing pages. Super frustrating. :/ At this point though, I'm not sure I want to get another copy because the writing wasn't that great. My new book is now Senlin Ascends.
January was a great reading month for me.Cytonic ★★★★★

I have read only a pinch of magic so far...but it was just great! I can't wait to read the rest of them! :D
After reading another set of Tarzan books (the new editions from the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library, which have lots of nice bonus materials) -- Jungle Tales of Tarzan, Tarzan the Untamed and Tarzan the Terrible -- I decided it was finally time to try some Matthew Hughes (an author who works very much in the tradition of Jack Vance) with his novel Majestrum.
Finally getting through Shadows of the Apt, up to book 7. Certainly is unique. Just finished The Sea Watch and was by far the strangest yet haha
I’m currently reading Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson, I’m slowly working my way through the Cosmere.
I am also reading my way through the cosmere. Currently on The Hero of Ages
I just finished of ascension and am waiting for the hero of ages from the local library
I'm a bit late for this, but here are my January reads:The Well of Ascension 4/5
The Priory of the Orange Tree 5/5
Daughter of the Deep 4/5
Aurora's End 5/5
The City of Brass 3/5
Morning Star 5/5
Dreams of Gods & Monsters 5/5
Skyward 5/5
Six Crimson Cranes 3/5
The Kingdom of Copper 4/5
Wintersong 3/5
It's been a great reading month, I finished a couple trilogies and progressed on others. The Priory of the Orange Tree was definitely my favorite read this month.
Last night I finished Ruin and Rising. Certain things didn't play out the way I wanted them to, but I did overall really enjoy this trilogy.
Rereading The Name of the Wind (paperback), I'm half done with Frey (kindle) and listening to the audiobook version of Debt of Bones. To be fully honest, the only book I'm actually enjoying is a reread one, even more so than the 1st time around but I'm determined to finish the other two as well.
I just finished Where the Drowned Girls Go. I thought it was pretty good, although the story did seem just a little bit pointless. Now I'm starting Temper.

I finished Senlin Ascends. Amazing book in so many ways. Really loved it.Now reading not sff, but Homicide and Halo-Halo.
Finished The Swords of Lankhmar, read Garth Nix's Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz: Three Adventures (it's short; a collection of three short stories) and started some in-the-spirit-of-old-school sword & sorcery with William King's Defiler of Tombs, second in his series of self-published novels about Kormak the Guardian.
